No what happen was, I contacted the people I bought this adapter from and ask if i could return the 9 inch adapter plate and get my money back. I bought the 5inch adapter plate at the same time this was happening. Well he thought Since i was going to send the other adapter back to him and once he got it he would ship the other adapter to me. Well my plan was to wait until I got the other adapter before i ship the other one back. I get an email from him last night asking if i shipped the other adapter back yet. I told him no and he said "oh, i was waiting until you sent the other one back before i shipped the other adapter you order. Kind of act like its an exchange type of transaction and not a refund." I was alittle mad. I was all waiting for it in the mail for a week and a half thinkin id have it in the next few days but nope, it hasnt even been ordered yet, WTF..?
According to this site they still offer it.. Maybe they dont offer it on their website anymore for some reason. If they dont make it anymore, ill be in the market for a AWD 4r70w transmission with the AWD transfer case :(
Ill keep my fingers crossed

the headers remained off for a few reasons... first was when i put the motor in the truck all i had was chains, i wasnt about to wrap those chains around my new headers. secondly they came in the mail a couple days after i got the motor. i have a body lift so removing them shouldnt be too hard. and yes it woulda been easier to install them before put the motor in. oh well
as for numbers 215 stock, uhhh headers 20 hp, intake 14.4(according to website).... ill guess maybe 240ish give or take 10horses. maybe ill jump it on a dyno just for a fun run to see what its pushin out lol... probably 190 to the wheels lol

Ok so the 5 inch adapter came in today and I must say, its a smallll adapter compared to the 9inch one.. Ill have a pic of the 2 in a few but Im sooo glad i got it and dont have to go another route in keeping my 4wd. I can definetly tell this adapter will work because the moutning holes for the tranny mount sits back a goud couple inces and i needed those couple inches on the 9 inch adapter to make it fit. Im happy and tomorrow the transmission will be dropped off to have the parts installed :)

there is nothing to plug the 4406 into, or no need I should say. just for 4x4 light if you want to keep that working. otherwise its a manual so nothing to wire in.
swap is looking good! I just chopped my exhaust after the muffler, so its dumped right before the axle and its waaay more badass. The little bit up pipe I had running over my axle and dumper at the spare tire made it pretty quiet. I'll get some new vids up up oh and a burnout vid! haha
